Wall Hoop - Pat’s Three Cats
14 inch wooden hoop
Materials: cotton blends, muslin, polyester batting
Completed: December 1982
This hoop was created as a Christmas gift for my friend Pat who had three cats at that time – an orangey calico named Callie, a patched calico cat named Meshugana, whose markings were split in half down the exact middle of her face, and a grey male cat named Buttons. So, I used an orange, a mixed print, and a solid grey to depict them. They are outline quilted; the background quilted in diamonds, and a lace edge and orange piping was added to hide the unfinished wooden hoop.
PS - This was many cats ago - she currently has 5 inside and several ferals she feeds outside. All of her cats have been cremated and she is taking their ashes with her.
This hoop has survived two moves – and a house fire!
